Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a–holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.
Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?
I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.
Well, if you’re on desktop and you don’t mind installing scripts on your browser, there’s a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

We’ve got an election coming up in 16 months in the US. So I imagine we’ll see a lot of bots registering soon.

Totally.
There was a former reddit mod on here a few days ago talking about how a small percentage of users make most of the posts/comments there. Personally, I’m glad to get away from that.
There may not be much content here, but at least the average person can be heard.
I’m new here just like most other folks, but from what I’ve seen so far is: Lemmy is a place to post links to your content, Peertube is the place to post your videos, Pixelfed is the place to post GIFs and short videos. Lemmy can handle picture uploads, but not much more than that right now.
But none of these instances is going to survive if users don’t donate. All those corporate social media sites were free because you weren’t the customer, you were the product.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t know what a lemming looked like until today.
Here’s the first batch of 4 bored Lemmys, quick and dirty. I’mma start the bidding at $600 each.

I’ve always heard puns were. I don’t believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.

I’ll see myself out.
Looks like it is supposed to be a Lemming, as they refer to it on their github page (4th bullet comment). But I don’t think they actually give it a name.
Also, fun fact, (and trigger warning) the Lemmy logo isn’t symmetrical.
I think I see what you’re talking about, a unified login across services. That is certainly cool, but it’s more advanced than what I’m looking for.
I’m fine with logging in under the same name on 3 different accounts, ie, linuxfan@lemmyxyz.com, linuxfan@peertubexyz.com and linuxfan@pixelfedxyz.com as long as they’re the same company. I know it’s inefficient that way, but when it’s time to make a donation, I can just donate to one company instead of 3 different ones.
Plus, 2 of the instances I deal with haven’t even responded when I asked how I can make a donation. As a capitalist, I’m offended😐.
For big videos I use Peertube and smaller ones I use Mastodon. Pixelfed works also for small vids, but not all instances support mp4.
It’s been going for 4 years now. I think the worst case scenario is it falls back to the numbers it had before this reddit incident.

Well the cat probably noticed you hadn’t killed any birds yet, so it was trying to help you learn how. It brought home the dumbest, easiest to catch bird it could find.
Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.
